Enjoy your morning beverage and watch the sunrise over the lake from the spacious deck. The sandy beach provides the perfect spot to launch your kayak, wade into the water or to watch boats go by on Lake Winnipesaukee. Swim to the anchored raft for sunbathing in the afternoon. The adjacent lagoon and the channel between Mink and Mark Islands provide the perfect calm waters to kayak and paddleboard. Enjoy boating to many outstanding lakeside restaurants in the towns of Meredith, Gilford, Laconia, Alton, Wolfeboro, and Center Harbor.

The open concept main house has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, plus a queen-sized pullout couch in the office. This is where you'll gather to create your meals in the full-sized kitchen and enjoy them in the screened-in dining room. The separate sleeping cabin has 2 bedrooms, each with a queen bed, a full bath and a kitchenette with a coffee maker and small refrigerator.

** The island is only accessible only by boat, so renters will need to provide their own transportation to and from the property. The dock can accommodate up to a 26’ boat. Boat launch and parking is available at local marinas.

The property rents during the summer from late June through early September with one week minimum stays from Sunday to Sunday (with some flexibility to rent Saturday to Saturday if the schedule allows). Spring and Fall rentals require three day minimum stays. Please see our calendar and rate schedule for details on availability, as we keep this up to date.

Smaller pets are welcome but are subject to owner’s approval.

    Great island experience. Beautifully decorated and very functional main house with nice second bedroom cabin. Rustic grounds; be careful walking from the dock to the house! Nice selection of kayaks and paddle boards; great swim float with backrests for two.

    The check-in process was very simple and clear. The house was very spacious and provided all of the items that we needed to enjoy our stay. This was the cleanest rental that we have experienced to date. This is a beautiful property on a beautiful lake.

    This is our third stay here on Mink Island. The property is very well stocked and comfortable with a nice little walk in beach area great for our younger family members. The back bunkhouse is a super sweet spot that could easily be enjoyed as a primary accommodation for any small family. The large windows in the primary space make for a bright and cozy feel throughout while plush carpet in the bedrooms make it hard to believe this is an island home. Highly recommend!

    The cottage is a perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle. Everything you need is available for staying on an island. We enjoyed kayaking and paddling. Only thing missing was drinking water.

    We spent a week at the house with our kids and grandkids. Property set up was perfect to provide our adult children a private space with the grandkids and the main house had plenty of room to all gather. Deck and beach area was lovely to be able to relax and read, while the ilittle ones spent time in the water with a wonderfull view of the lake. It was a great space to sit and have your morning coffee! Easy access to the lake and the dock was spacious enough for our boat. Location on the lake was great and could travel to many key destinations around the lake pretty easily. One thing I would suggest is to add a dispenser for bottled water so guests could bring a single large container vs several smaller gallon jugs. Much better for the environment too! Overall, great time was had by all!

    Loved the deer on the island that hung around the place and the loon nest in the nearby lagoon.

    Wow what a stay! The place was even nicer than advertised. Very private and an amazing views from the very large front decks. We could just sit there all day, but enjoyed swimming, snorkeling and visiting the Weirs and Meredith by boat for food and games. Beautiful house inside, very clean and well supplied. Perfect vacation!

    This was our first time staying on an island and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The property was amazing, with a sandy beach and had kayaks and paddleboards to explore the rest of the island. The location is secluded from heavy boat traffic but close enough to the mainland if you wanted to go out for dinner or other activities. We will definitely be back!!!
